olive VS vpaint

We need more detail. What OS you are using what olive version (exactly up to commit number). You should make an issue heere: https://github.com/olive-editor/olive/issues

Other free tools I have tried in the past include Kdenlive and Shotcut. Tried Lightworks way back, too, but their free version is now not much better than Filmora. Got one eye on Olive, too, but it's very much still in beta.

To add to what u/Mk-Daniel said, the latest version will always be the one that you get from the website, if you want to see the builds to compare that number you can check out this page

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but might help some https://github.com/olive-editor/olive/discussions/2166

I think it is best for you to create a bug report on GitHub. This is a technical issue. olive-editor/olive

Also, keep an eye on https://olivevideoeditor.org/ for video editing. It is still in Beta, but looks very promising.

My video editor of choice is Kdenlive. It's modeled after Adobe Premiere (more or less), and has a bit of a learning curve. Olive is another promising option, but similarly tricky to master. Openshot is a pretty easy editor that works similarly. All of them are free and open source. Davinci Resolve is a professional-grade editor, and free, but not open source.

> Custom Actions

> It is now possible to arrange custom actions in cascading submenus. Just enter the same submenu name for a custom action in order to place it into the same menu. If you require multiple menu levels, you can achieve that by using '/' in the path of the 'Submenu' entry.*

In 2012 KDE AppMenu Runner was presented as a "plugin which allows to browse, search and select the menubar of the active application".[0]

In 2019 I requested to somehow implement a feature, similar to Blender's "Menu Search"/"Operator Search"[1], into Olive Video Editor.[2]

After it "Action Search" was implemented into Olive Video Editor ('/') shortcut, its code was reused for "Action Search" in Scribus ('Ctrl+/') and then converted into Qt5-plugin.[3,4]

Year later, this Qt5-plugin code reused in for implementing global "Action Search" in helloSystem FreeBSD distribution.[5]

Then "Search and Run a Command" ('/') was added into GIMP.[6]

Guess, GIMP's implementation may be used for other GTK-based apps too (especially Inkscape, which still has no such feature).

You could try olive 0.2 . I do not know if it does exactly what you want.

VPaint maybe? I'm not at all familiar with after-effects so I don't know if this is anything like it. Also not sure if it will be of any assistance as it is beta and distributed for research purposes. From the Readme:

Yes, it is open source, under the Apache 2.0 License. The source code for the prototype VPaint is here: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint and the source code for VGC Illustration is here: https://github.com/vgc/vgc

You can test the prototype here: https://www.vpaint.org/, don't hesitate to give feedback on the github https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint :) Also note that I just launched the Kickstarter campaign, in case you are interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vgcsoftware/vgc-illustration-the-drawing-app-of-the-future
